Christmas in the air...

So I was just thinking about Christmas and how much I love all the lead up festivites, the food & drink, the beautiful vistas of snow on old buildings... and how we just don't have that here in Australia! The only thing around at the moment to let you know it's Christmas is the rush at the shops and the Butterscotch Latte at Gloria Jeans (Good on 'ya GJ's, but it's no Pumpkin Pie Spice or Gingerbread Latte like at Starbucks! And where's my Christmas printed cup??!)
1. cinnabon-classic, 2. munich christmas market, 3. Disneyland christmas castle during the day, 4. munich christmas market, 5. Cocktail., 6. #322/365 - Gingerbread Latte, 7. [white Christmas], 8. 18/365, 9. Lighthouse
So I just did a quick trawl of Flickr and came up with this Christmas Mood Board to really lift my spirits!
1. Cinnabon- ooohh, the warm, sweet, delicious gooeyness of this Cinnamon scroll that really feels like you're eating Velvet. Oh how I wish we had Cinnabon in Australia!
2. Christmas Markets in Munich- I went on school exchage to Munich a few years ago now (eek!) and their Christmas Markets were just extraordinary. Not to mention, looked so beautiful under the backdrop of the Rathaus and with their fairy lights glowing in the frosty night air!
3. Disneyland all dressed up for Christmas- I've been twice to DL in the lead up to Christmas and it is just SO BEAUTIFUL! And they do go so over the top, it's awesome!
4.Gebranndte Mandeln- Sugar Coated almonds from the Munich Christmas markets. Hot, smell delicious and taste soooo sooo good!
5. Cocktail by the pool- Ok, this is probably our reality for Christmas at Mum and Dad's this year. And you know what, it doesn't brush up too bad beside all these other Christmassy things!
6. Starbucks Christmas printed cups- always beautiful and so festive! And look I found one that says Jaime!
7. Snow covered English village- oh so beautiful!
8.Pumpkin Pie- YUM YUM YUM. Thank you Costco for making this one a reality!
9.Connecticut at Christmas- such gorgeous scenery to take photos of. If only it snowed here at Christmas!!
What would be on your Christmas Mood Board?

Oh beautiful. I need to have a white Christmas before I die. Europe or England would be wonderful. We put up the tree on the weekend with mum! Christmas has started!

1991 was our Christmas in USA, ... NY and Washington DC were especially awesome. I HAVE to watch my old video of that trip every Christmas to really feel Christmassy. I must do a mood board of 9 of those favourite photos. Everyone should experience a white christmas, the glow of the lights really is magical in the snow. aj

I would LOVE a white Christmas. We'll have to organise one somewhere in the world one year. I would love the European Christmas Markets, but then I would love the American decorations. I'm up for wherever anyone chooses to go for our Family White Christmas.
Love Mum
